- Abstract
Draw is a natural process inherent to human beings; from early childhood spontaneously the first traces of which are equipped with an authenticity that reveals the cognitive metabolization child has done the world around you will appreciate. To make those first strokes children use a range of own resources of mathematics to represent the people, events or objects. However, few opportunities in the drawing is used as a pedagogical tool to foster mediacional describing cognitive processes of the developing child. This paper is intended to analyze raised the notions of space represented in the child's drawing. The work methodology is based on the qualitative approach, phenomenological method; study subjects were four girls and three boys aged approximately five to eight years. The techniques used were observation in situ and semiotic mediation, understood as the process of interactions mediated by signs and tools (Rodríguez Arocho, 2003, 375 p.); tools and resources used were: the leaves with ten drawings by seven children, diary, Recorders and image matrix for data analysis and matrix template. We conclude that the notions of space in the drawing, are interrelated (topological-projective and Euclidean) and serve as inputs for the construction of a representation of increasingly elaborate and complex space; Also, links between the age of each child, his / her imagination, the characteristics of their evolutionary development and experiences of everyday life were found. Therefore, it is considered necessary, seek subjects located infant context that form the basis for the development of spatial thinking and recognize the drawing as a medium through which to assess the cognitive, social, cultural and biological development of children.
